In order to realize this project, Molecular Machines & Industries AG donated part of the state of the art Lasermicrodissection system and Nikon Instruments Europe donated a high end research Eclipse Ti inverted microscope to the Harley-Charity Scope project, part of the Harley Davidson Charity Funds Austria, for use by the Austrian Muscle Research (ÖMF). ÖMF supports projects for research into muscle diseases and is part of the Treat NMD Neuromuscular Network.
The Lasermicrodissection microscope was formally presented early in April prior to the world premiere of a documentary on the Harley-Davidson Charity Tour 2010 which helped raise funds for Austrian Muscle Research
We will keep you updated on latest news and success stories of Prof. Bittners group and the Harley Charity tour 2011 and look forward to hearing from you and your charity ideas.
Sincerely,
Your MMI Team
